About to hit buy - this build ok?

oh believe me, the extra £50 would be worth it.

the 600t is bigger inside, better for future upgrades i.e. longer gpu's, great for future water cooling if you want to do so, looks amazing, if it was a girl i know I would! lol, cooling is better, build quality is amazing... but its if you have the cash... i wish i could afford one, but i went for the shinobi instead

The carbide is plenty big inside. It also has removable HDD cages.

One thing is I find is it's not silent. And the 600T looks much better of course. Some complains about its airflow, and it has a slim 200mm fan at the front.

Shame you missed the M4 at £90, that would have saved money to go towards the case.

Thanks for the quick replies - I wasn't sure about the ASRock to be honest as had read varying reviews of quality, although the board specs seemed ok. The Asus are a bit more expensive but I found one that seems to be a nice compromise and comes with Wi-fi built in which I just realised could be useful, although I mainly use wired homeplug network. And with the 10% discount I can afford to go a little higher for modular I suppose :D

Possibly final build unless any other good ideas ....
